Lightning has struck with the new Yonex Nanoflare 1000 Z Badminton Racket!

The Nanoflare 1000Z is a record breaking racket. Used by Satwick Rankireddy and Pearly Tan to set the new world record for fastest smash, 565km/h and 438km/h respectively!

This new flagship racket from Yonex offers uncharted shuttle speeds with more technologies than you can imagine. The Nanoflare 1000 is designed for players looking for additional shot and swing speed with agile maneuverability. 

The new NANOFLARE 1000 is being used on court now in the hands of Rio Olympic gold medalist, Carolina Marin (ESP), 2022 All England silver medalist, Lakshya Sen (IND), and 2022 French Open champion, He Bing Jiao (CHN). 

Nanometric DR - NANOMETRIC DR is a new carbon material developed by Yonex based on our unique NANOSCIENCE technology. Created from a material originally developed for next generation space aviation by Toray Industries, Inc., this marks the first time it has been used within the racket industry. By combining firm shuttle hold and high repulsion, NANOMETRIC DR puts the DUORA into a class of its own.

Compact Frame - To balance the heavy racket head, the frame has been made smaller to maintain the fast swing demanded by advanced players. By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racket handling speed is increased.

M40X - A next-generation highly strong, yet elastic carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries, Inc.

Solid Feel Core - The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all rackets manufactured in Japan.

Sonic Flare System - The revolutionary new graphite material TORAYCAR M40X and SUPER HMG provide unrivalled power and stability for maximum shuttle acceleration.

Ultra PE Fiber - The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – ultra poly ethylene fibre – which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. these characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.

NEW Built-in T-Joint - The lightweight T-Joint increases stability of the shuttle on the strings, maximizing power and control.

Speed-Assist Bumper - The SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is a connected grommet containing highly rigid material that is resistant to warping. They are attached to the lower part of the frame to reduce frame warp and improve repulsion performance.

BUYING GUIDE

Badminton Rackets Buying Guide

The key question to ask firstly is what style of player are you, or what type of player do you want to become?

  1. Power Attacking
  2. All Round
  3. Fast Reactions to Rallies
  4. Control and Touch, by moving players around the court to create space

As a general guide for your playing style below is the kind of racket you'll want to look at purchasing:

Playing Style Racket Balance Racket Flexibility Racket Weight
Power Attacking Head Heavy Stiff 85g – 89g (3U)
All Round Balanced Medium 80g – 84g (4U)
Speed & Fast Reactions Head Light Medium 79g or below (5U and up)
Control & Touch Head Light Hi Flex 79g or below (5U and up)


In simple terms is means this:
Player with Explosive Backswing Hitting = Stiffer Shaft needed as it'll unload faster for more power.
Player with Slower Backswing Hitting = More Flexible Shaft needed so that it'll unload fully at impact.

If you're still unsure what to choose for yourself, we'd recommend going for a medium flex badminton racket to minimise the chances of choosing incorrectly what's right for you.

Weight:

Weight can make a real difference to reaction speeds, and power behind the hit of a shuttle. Too light a racket and it won't go far or powerful enough. However too heavy a racket and you'll find you'll be reacting too slow in fast flat rallies, where reaction speed is everything.:

Most rackets are weighted around 3U (85-89g) or 4U (80-84g), this is because it's a good weight balance for players to hit hard and also be able to react fast too.:

Typically singles players will use heavier rackets 3U (85-89g), this provides the player with more stability and accuracy, with a little more weight for power behind it, without compromising on racket speed too much, as quick racket head speed isn't needed as much in the singles game:

Doubles players however will usually want lighter rackets, the most popular weight for this being 4U (80-84g), this is because the Badminton Racket will offer more speed and quicker reactions in around the net and for defence against smashes.:

Racket Strings Used & Tension:

Again like the grip, this is customisable on any racket. However do look out for racket tension ranges on the product as this could potentially limit your ability to have the racket strung at a desired tension.:

For a full breakdown on strings and tensions, see our buying guide specifically on this.:

To put it simply however, if you're unsure what to choose when buying a racket you like, either go for the “Original Strings” option or “Stringers Professional Decision” for which we'll choose the string that best suits getting the maximum performance out of the racket for you.:

Amazing racket

Used it for a few days now and it’s an amazing racket. Light yet powerful, you can feel each shot, need some practice to get the control. It’s a shame though that it doesn’t come with a cloth cover.

Excellent service and quality product. My only complain would be that yonex did not provide a cover or carry bag for £200 racquet. The rest of the service was brilliant and will always use Badminton HQ in the future.
